For nearly 150 years, aspects of biological anthropology have been taught at Jagiellonian University in Cracow. The first course was given in 1856 by J. Majer, who was professor of physiology in the Medical Faculty. The Department of Anthropology was established in 1908 and today it is one of the very few university departments in Poland that teaches and conducts research in biological anthropology. We offer a broad program for students of biology and social sciences. We offer an MSc and a PhD in Biology with a specialization in Physical Anthropology. Specialization in anthropology is very popular among biology students. Each year at least 20 students prepare graduate work (MSc degrees) in our department. In addition, at the present time 12 PhD students of Jagiellonian University are specializing in anthropology. Apart from the courses recommended for students of biology, we also offer a course for students of archeology, psychology, sociology and philosophy. Since the end of the SecondWorld War, the Department of Anthropology of Jagiellonian University has been one of the major sources of professional anthropologists in Poland. Our students are especially well prepared for careers in a variety of biomedical fields, including public health, ergonomics, forensic studies and bioarcheology
